Well i recently hit the 909dcomp and 909d3 drivers that i really liked em but theres no way i can afford those. So i went searching for titleist older model drivers that wear similar to the specs of those and through my search found the 975j driver the specs i like and reviews are through the roof, so went searching on ebay.. and guess what, picked one up in amazing condition for how old the make is, for 30 bucks!!! It's exact to my specs, i need the 9.5, the mid to low launch head with minimal spin equipped with a stiff shaft that is mid to low launch with minimal spin, almost like this ad was made for me . Cant wait for it to get here.

Nice Buy, I don,t know how that one slipped by everybody. Thats the way to buy golf stuff now days. Wait a year or two and they are a fraction of the cost of when they were new. I,ve hit the 975s and they are a very nice driver. It should last you for many years.

Congratulations on your find! The 975 was the driver everyone wanted when Titleist introduced it, and I still think it's right up there with the PT series as one of the best metal woods they've ever made.

Yeah I bought a 909D3 used for $130 and took the stock shaft out and put in a UST proforce v2 76X. Total expense was $210 including installing fees. Better than buying new with a UST which would cost me around $330

Not too many people here still play that old of a club. I have (and loved) a 975D with the original UST proforce shaft. The 975J was a good head.

I have the 975d, and love it, I'll still occasionally bring it to the range to hit a few.

BTW, the 975j is a much smaller head than the 909 series.

i know its abot a 312cc head, which i like even more.. i prefer a small club head, which is why lately ive been teeing off with my 3 wood.

I had a 975D back in about 1996 or 1997. Great driver, but technology keeps moving forward and I sold it when the next big thing came along, which for me was the Ping TiSi with the draw inducing hosel. As I recall Tiger, Davis Love III, and David Duval were using its cousin-the 975J.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
